Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-25 Reference Monitor good match

Requires a tamper-proof, always-invoked reference monitor that cannot be bypassed by client-side logic.

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforces all access decisions on the server according to policy rather than trusting client-supplied enforcement.

AC-7 Unsuccessful Logon Attempts good match

AC-7 directly enforces limits on consecutive failed logons, structurally blocking brute-force exploitation of the weakness.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement good match

Enforces information-flow rules at the server boundary instead of delegating them to the client.

SC-7 Boundary Protection partial match

Monitors and controls all external and key internal interfaces so that server-side policy cannot be off-loaded to clients.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-03 mostly match
prevents

Authentication enforcement directly includes lockout, throttling, and MFA policies that prevent brute-force attempts.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent design flaws that place server security enforcement on the client.

DE.CM-03 partial match
prevents

Behavioral monitoring of authentication activity can detect excessive failed attempts after they occur.

PR.AA-05 partial match
prevents

Proper policy-based enforcement of authorizations implies server-side controls rather than client-only checks.

PR.PS-04 partial match
prevents

Generating auth logs enables later detection or forensics but does not itself restrict attempts.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles mostly match
prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage client-side trust but do not directly address this weakness.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect client-side enforcement but is not the primary mitigation.

A.8.3 Information access restriction mostly match
prevents

Information access restriction is undermined when the client is trusted to enforce it.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates server-side validation and prevents reliance on client enforcement.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for server-side enforcement of security mechanisms.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards require server-side checks and reject client-only enforcement.

Hardening callouts derived

Configuration rules from DISA STIG baselines that bear on weaknesses of the type cited by this CVE. Each rule is shown with the relationship its mapping actually records, against the CWE it was authored against. Derived via CVE→CWE over `controls_xwalks` (authoritative rows only; rows rated `none` are excluded).

RHEL 7 (2 rules)
  • V-204427 The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must be configured to lock accounts for a minimum of 15 minutes after three unsuccessful logon attempts within a 15-minute timeframe. prevents CWE-307
  • V-204428 The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must lock the associated account after three unsuccessful root logon attempts are made within a 15-minute period. prevents CWE-307
